Waiting for the Portrush Flyer

Uploaded by Cyberbeagle1000 on Jul 6, 2007
The Portrush Flyer is one the best known steam trains run by the RPSI on the Northern Ireland Railways network. Here I catch it passing Juniper Hill between Portrush and Portstewart either in 2003 or 2004, and a few other things happening while waiting!

Crikey, that was quick!
The Portrush Flyer with the old pre-Mk II stock was a regular feature of my childhood. Thanks for posting this.

I've never really taken much notice of NI trains before. They look very LMS in design. Both the carriages and that 2-6-4 tank could have come straight from Crewe!
-
it must have been in 2003 because that train has wooden bodied carriages and they were banned on the mainline in northern ireland in 2004

No. 4 built at Derby, surely?
Was treated to No. 4 on full whack on the northbound Steam Enterprise on 9th August. GS&WR 0-6-0 No. 186 had brought it south in the morning, which was also a real treat.
80 Class R.I.P. :-(

Ah! You spotted my deliberate mistake...

Considering that the LMS owned and operated the Belfast-Londonderry line, and was as integral as the East Coast Mainline, that's no surprise. No. 4 was built in Crewe, and the carriages are a mix of LMS stock, and include a number that originally ran in England. You didn't know that? Shame on you!!! ;-)
